An EBay win. 1970 Topps Posters....

 I got a nice lot of 1970 Topps posters for about $1/per. I only had five of these previously; now I have 22/24. I only need #8 Rick Wise and #11 Johnny Bench. I imagine Bench will be difficult but maybe someone has an extra Wise?

The posters were inserts in packs of cards, so they are all folded over the same way. They do look really nice unfolded, with the bold name on top, the somewhat psychedelic team name and background, and some of the first action photography in a Topps set. That Ken Harrelson card on top should be a lot more well-known. I never knew until I saw it yesterday that he wore his nickname, "Hawk", on his jersey! Apparently he only did that in 1969. That card (I consider it a card) is an instant favorite of mine, so I put it at the top of the post, Night Owl-style.

Here are the other new additions to my set:

A shame the only Yankee didn't get an action shot, but it's still a nice looking photo. Ed Kirkpatrick got a great one on his poster.

"Bob" is by far the biggest star in the set. No Mays, Aaron or Reggie Jackson. There is Reggie Smith, looking like he's scaling the Green Monster.

Some of the players got really nice action photos. Not Ron Fairly . . .

This was a big lot with lots of dupes! Hopefully some fellow bloggers can use some of these....

....a few more available, including one for each Dodger blogger if they need them. Maybe someone wants a "Hawk" too. I had a Joe Horlen already; worth noting that his face is suspiciously in shadow. Maybe not him?
